John Ratzenberger sits down with Adam and Ray to discuss American-made manufacturing, working as a carpenter in London, and authenticating Batchelder tiles. John also shares some great stories about his acting career in everything from Cheers to Star Wars.

Show Summary

Adam and Ray welcome John Ratzenberger to the show. The guys discuss the importance of working with your hands, and why our children should focus on building instead of music. John then talks about his decade spent in London working as both a carpenter and an actor. Later, the guys respond to a video question about a floor that was messed up by radiant tubing, and an email about authenticating Batchelder tiles. As the show wraps up, the guys take calls about houses lacking insulation, and how to paint the outside of your house when you have a slate roof.

I would like to respectfully request that Matt no longer accept video questions that are shot vertically. It’s 2013, people need to figure it out. And if they can’t, any answer Adam and Ray provide won’t do them any good anyway…
